THIS IS MASSIVE !!



Ethereum is finally solving its biggest problem.

Yesterday, Vitalik unveiled a new technical roadmap to make Ethereum quantum resistant.

This roadmap has identified four critical vulnerabilities in the current network and proposes replacing them with post-quantum cryptography over a four-year period.

The plan involves seven planned network forks occurring roughly every six months to incrementally harden the protocol with key upgrades, including:

Validator Signatures: Replacing the current BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) signatures with "lean" quantum-safe hash-based signatures.

Data Availability: Migrating data storage verification from KZG (Kate-Zaverucha-Goldberg) commitments to STARK-based proofs.

User Account Signatures: Moving away from ECDSA (secp256k1) to quantum-resistant schemes, supported by EIP-8141 (Native Account Abstraction).

Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Upgrading application-layer ZK proofs (like Groth16) to use protocol-layer recursive signatures and proof aggregation to maintain speed while adding security.

If everything goes smoothly, Ethereum will be fully quantum resistant by 2029.
